The Gerstmann Effect

Basically when people hate on you for being honest or forthright with your opinions. You stand by your principals no matter what, this can often be misconstrued as having no regard for the feelings of others, but in reality only shows integrity and sincerity.

People hate you regardless.
The Gerstmann Effect:-

Jeff Gerstmann: "Kane & Lynch Sucks Balls."
Eidos: "Well you can eat shit."
Gamespot: "Yeah... umm... dude... your fired."
Jeff Gerstmann: "Why?!!"
Gamespot: "A bunch of stuff... but definitely not because you said Kane & Lynch sucked Balls."

Call of Duty effect

A condition experienced after long nights of playing Call of Duty 4. Causes dreams to consist of bright environments with shadows popping up everywhere. In the waking hours, COD effect causes severe reactions to fleeting images in the afflicted person's peripherals.
Holy shit, I had Call of Duty effect really bad all day. I was walking down the street and saw a door open on the other side of the road. I fucking dropped all my shit and hid behind a tree. Then I punched the guy walking behind me.

Mass Effect

A role-playing-game originally exclusive to the Xbox 360 (now available for PC gaming as well). Overall, an entertaining and enrapturing game with an original plot and setting (which is sufficiently rare in any game with a storyline nowadays) Hours can fly by if you aren’t careful.

It probably could have been called "Mass-turbation Effect" also, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. The game is chock-full of all manner of women with supermodel bodies. None of them are anywhere approaching "overweight" and all are wearing skintight outfits: Armor (aptly named "hardsuits"), medical uniforms, casual wear and spacesuits are all form-fitting. Even the Alien ladies sport a homosapien figure... Players can even choose to set the main character as a woman which allows them to stare at their perfectly formed arse whilst blasting their way through hordes of enemies on some of the most perfect maps to ever grace an RPG
Horny Hormonal under 17 Gamer: "Dude! I cant buy Mass effect because it's rated 'M'! Can you believe that?"

Horny Hormonal 17+ Gamer: "Sucks for you! But anyways, it shoulda been rated 'T' for 'T&A throughout' Bow chicka wow wow!"

ESRB Notice: “This game is highly conducive to masturbation. Hand to penis interactions not rated by the ESRB”

Yoko effect

The aftermath of an individual in a group of friends dating a nut-case girlfriend or boyfriend. The significant other will intentionally or unintentionally control the group member's entire life and eventually stomp out anyone he or she sees as 'unfit' based on arbitrary criteria. Comes from Yoko Ono's effect on the Beatles, where her attitude towards the rest of the band and influence over John Lennon resulted in animosity and the eventual estrangement of John and Yoko from the group.
